The Arabic name "Umm Al-Sawalif" literally means "Mother of Tales." It's a colloquial nickname used in Gulf culture to describe someone who is full of anecdotes, conversations, and lively storytelling.The book explores marriage as seen through different generations in the Arabian Gulf Region-from the days of traditional gatherings to the era of instant messages and digital filters. While the stories are fictional, they are rooted in the rhythms of everyday life, offering readers a window into the people, the culture, and the authenticity of the region-away from media distortions and misleading propaganda. Rather than recounting real events, the book captures the spirit of Gulf wisdom, celebrating society's transformations through playful storytelling that inspires both reflection and smiles.Author: Sheikha Lobna Ali Abdullah Al Khalifa
